Puppeteer: I Use Human Puppets to Create Perfect Accidents - Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Released Due To Insufficient Evidence, Alice’s In Rage!
“Damned bastard, you’ve gone too far! I’ll stab you all to death!”
Seeing this scene, Alice, who had already arrived, couldn’t sit still and hurriedly shouted, “Stop!”
Hearing this voice, the young boy froze.
The few men in black gave a disdainful smile before turning around to leave.
Although they were not afraid of that young boy, seeing that Alice was wearing a police uniform after all, they still had some scruples and did not dare to do anything ruthless.
Seeing that the few men in black had left, Alice ignored them.
Instead, she went forward and introduced herself to the couple. “Hello, my name is Alice. I’m the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the police. Regarding the matter of your daughter, I’m very sorry for your loss. I came here to talk to you guys and see if there are any complaints you want to lodge?”
“Hmmph, what’s the use of lodging complaints? Aren’t the police in cahoots with those rich people? I’ve already known it all. We can’t even put our hopes on you. You can leave. You’re not welcome here,” the young man roared angrily.
“Brown, shut up! This police officer is the one who caught the murderer. She’s our benefactor!”
The middle-aged man berated him, then turned around and looked at Alice. He forced a smile on his sad face and said, “Hello, sorry for his rude behavior. Please come and take a seat inside.”
Alice nodded and walked into the courtyard.
As soon as she sat down, the middle-aged woman immediately knelt down in front of her, pleading repeatedly, “Police officer, please help my daughter. She died too unjustly. She was quiet and very obedient. She has never offended anyone, but she was tortured to this state by those animals. Ohhh, ohhh, my poor daughter!”
“They must be punished as they deserve. For this, I am willing to pay at any price. Please, Officer, please get justice for my daughter!”
Although the middle-aged man did not say anything, tears could not stop flowing from his eyes. He looked at Alice with hope.
Seeing this scene, Alice felt very bad for them. She tried hard to hold back her tears and nodded with full determination. She promised with utmost seriousness, “Don’t worry, I will enforce the law fairly and let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve. I promise you!”
“Thank you, Officer. Thank you so much. I kowtow to you!”
Hearing Alice’s words, the middle-aged couple immediately showed gratitude in their eyes. They kept thanking her and even kowtowed to her.
Even Brown, who had treated her badly previously, softened his face.
To him, as long as someone could avenge his sister, he or she would be his benefactor!
He would do everything in his life to repay his benefactor!
Alice did not dare to accept such a big etiquette from the two of them. She immediately pulled them up from the ground.
Then, she sat down and had a simple conversation with them to understand more about the situation that happened earlier.
It turned out that not long before she arrived, a few men in black came to their house.
They claimed that they were sent by Mr. Smith.
They wanted to apologize and compensate for the tragic death of the girl!
However, their condescending attitude did not look like an apology at all.
Instead, it was more like a charity, a gift to them.
It was as if they were saying, “You should be grateful that we are giving you money!”
They were clearly the ones who had done something wrong, yet they acted like this.
They were already grieving the loss of their daughter. How could they bear such an attitude from them!?
Immediately, they were unable to resist their anger anymore and chased them out.
Hearing this, Alice was also furious. She did not expect Smith to act so quickly but so rudely. He simply did not take human lives seriously, and did not care about obeying the law at all!
Thinking of this, Alice could not sit still.
Smith’s action was so fast that she had to hurry up.
She had to finish the formalities quickly and convict Johnson as soon as possible.
At once, she bade them farewell and rushed to the police station.
However, as soon as she arrived at the police station, the shocking news hit her hard.
Johnson had been released!
How was this possible?!
Who had the audacity to release such a criminal?!
Furthermore, he had been released at the time where she had just gone to console the victim’s family.
This was simply going over her head.
Alice was furious.
She immediately rushed to the Chief’s office. In a hurry, she even forgot to knock on the door.
“Chief, what’s going on? How did Johnson get released? He’s a murderer!” Alice questioned angrily.
The Chief was signing the document with his head lowered. When he heard that, he looked up at Alice with a helpless expression and said while forcing a smile, “Alice, I can’t do anything about it. This is a direct order from my superior. I can’t disobey his order!”
“Is it Smith’s doing?” Alice was furious. “Otherwise, how could the higher-ups be so muddle-headed and turn a blind eye to Johnson’s crime? They even said that just because there wasn’t enough evidence, he was immediately released. This is ridiculous!”
“This is malfeasance! This is a crime!”
“I’m really disappointed. Have the higher-ups lost their minds? Or have they also been bribed by Smith?”
“Is this the true color of the people in power in our country? Openly using the country’s important assets for personal gain!?”
“Shameless, hateful, heinous crimes!”
“Shut up!”
Hearing this, the Chief was taken aback and immediately chided her.
After saying that, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the door. He looked around and only heaved out a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one nearby.
He retracted his body and closed the door. Then, he said, “Alice, I understand your feelings very well, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We can’t compete with people like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who are extremely capable. Look, they didn’t even go through us! Instead, they directly got our superior to issue the order!”
With that, the Chief smiled bitterly and advised, “Forget it, Alice. There’s no need to put your future at risk. Why bother? This isn’t the problem of turning a blind eye. It’s that you must turn a blind eye. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the unimaginable consequences!”
“This world isn’t all fair. The reality is so cruel. What can you do no matter how unwilling you are? Stop throwing straws against the wind. Alice, you have to accept your fate!”
As his voice fell, Alice did not respond for a long time. Her face was gloomy, and she only felt a sense of dejection and powerlessness.
She knew that the Chief was not to blame for this matter. He was just carrying out the orders from his superior, and there was nothing he could do.
One could only say that this world was too cruel.
Human lives were really too worthless.
In the eyes of those big shots, they had probably never looked up to the civilians.
Human lives were treated like dirt!
It was as if they were giving alms to the civilians when saying a word to them.
From the start, they had never placed the commoners in an equal position, wantonly plundering and taking whatever they wanted!
